国际英语资讯:Chinese, Japanese entrepreneurs, former officials call for deepening economic cooperation

The two sides agreed that as China and Japan are highly complementary to each other in economy, they should enhance cooperation in promoting structural readjustment, nurturing new industries and exploring third party markets.

Expanding the win-win cooperation is in the interests of both Chinese and Japanese people and will contribute to building an East Asian Economic Community and pushing for the stable development of the global economy, they said.

The Japanese side also expressed its wish to take part in cooperation under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative and make joint efforts with China to expand trade, investment and industry cooperation, so as to promote stable and healthy development of bilateral economic ties.

The two sides also had discussions on trade policies, trade gap, foreign direct investment, third party market exploration among others, and have reached broad consensus.

The China Center for International Economic Exchanges and Japan Business Federation (Keidanren), as co-sponsors of the dialogue, issued a joint statement after the dialogue, expressing the willingness to grasp the opportunity and deepen mutually-beneficial cooperation.

As this year marks the 45th anniversary of the normalization of China-Japan diplomatic ties and next year the 40th anniversary of the signing of China-Japan Treaty of Peace and Friendship, the joint statement called on both sides to take the opportunities to further improve pragmatic cooperation and coordination between the two countries and push for further development of bilateral relations.
